I don’t think the fascism would exist if it wasn’t profitable to give it a platform.

That’s stupid!

I am shocked to see this pseudofascist apologia so highly upvoted.

It’s not the media’s coverage of the fascism that’s the problem.

You would rather deflect blame to the media than point the finger at the fascism. Shame on you.

learn to write.

But fair enough, I can see how that might have been misinterpreted.

Yeah speak more carefully.

idk man you said we didn’t know if Trump was going to be like Sulla and give up his power and that’s a stupid fucking thing to say.

You’re an idiot because you think that Trump would ever resign like Sulla did.

These are not problems I have. I do have the problem of pseudofascist apologia being literally everywhere. You emitted trash nonsense. We already know what Trump is. Shut the fuck up.

If Trump is elected to a second term it will be a disaster and there is no ambiguity as to the nature of Trump for he has already declared civil war against the will of the American people. You are an idiot.

It is idiocy and I am not obliged to respect it as anything but idiocy.

I guess what I’m saying overall is Trump might, even if elected to a second term, still turn out to be the American Sulla instead of the American Caesar if you catch my drift.

This is stupid. You are an idiot. Shut the fuck up.

son

there is a fascist movement

this is an emergency

I will hurt who I will hurt.

you should shut the fuck up with your ‘well actually’ de facto dictator apologia

Rome didn’t have that many ‘dictators’ give up power

the vast majority of societies with authoritarian dictators are dysfunctional

again: shut the fuck up.

you’re still operating on the 2014 patch, it’s 2024

anyone who doesn’t expect a regime of brutal martial law to come out of a Trump administration is fooling themselves.

these people have already shown they don’t care about law and order to institute their belief system on the rest of us.

what’s going to stop them? congress? they’ll kick out the Democrats because law and order mean nothing to them in their pursuit of power at any costs.

a full scale state-by-state civil war is increasingly likely.

solid troll

you’re simplifying a complex situation

the ‘right wing’ believes climate change is a hoax. you’re struggling with a failed conception of ‘both sides’ politics. please receive a plot update.

acting like going through post history is discourse, like this, should merit a sitewide ban for 36 hours

As one of said assholes, the biggest problem I have with Lemmy is that it’s stuck trying to be both the Old Internet in which directness was prized and encouraged no matter how acerbic, and Comfort Internet for nonpartisans.

When these two crowds mix there’s going to be discomfort.

And freedom from participation in politics is hiding in privilege to some very real extent, so in some ways I don’t know how to be sympathetic to your plight.

But all politics is ragebait, isn’t it? I’ve come back to this general feeling that we need more rage, not less.

The doctrinal conflicts on the Internet are yet to be resolved. We still have the disaffected rightwing types who haven’t really had it sink in yet that they failed and their loser is and was always a loser. We still have moderate idiots who think that ‘both sides’ need to curtail their extremists.

It’s an irony that one of the Left’s strengths is dogmatism, because I do think there’s dogmatic leftists here that I find insufferable. I didn’t used to dislike male feminists as much as I do now, but let women represent women’s issues.

In the meanwhile, the leftist dogma of No Platforming Stupid Rightwing Shit needs to be more formidably advanced.

Risk of them becoming unable to execute the duties of the office is a main factor. It’s ok to discriminate against adults for the qualities of a high risk of developing age-related degenerative disorders over the course of their tenure.

This isn’t that hard to understand. Your line of reasoning is pointless.

A bunch of people are living in the delusional reality of an old person and it’s pushing us close to civil war for no good reason beyond boomer mass dementia. You have failed to understand the present crisis, so you fail to comprehend the necessity for this simple preventative measure.

No more people over 65 in federal politics. Ever.
